I wonder about ring availability, unless they utilise oversize stock TRX rings.

Arias are pretty big in both japan & US so probably they can be sourced...!?

Just short of 271 quid they made in the end, bit rich I thought.

I was watching but when the feeding frenzy started i hopped out of the water. When the time is right i think i'll go the 900 route like killer has.

The seller spoke of a big end failure in the motor they came from, they `may` have kissed the head and suffered microscopic fatigue fractures. Plus, they`re heavier than oversize TRX pistons so you would very likely need to balance the crank assembly too.
Arias are good pistons, but second hand and at that price? Not for me!

Contact Arias UK in Billingshurst:

http://www.ariaspistons.com/distribution.html

So, are they scored, how do the crowns look?
The images on Ebay could have been better. You`re aware that they are much heavier than oversize Yamaha pistons and you should have your crank rebalanced? :wink:
Oh, forgot, hello and welcome. :)

Hi Rune.
Going to use them in a TDM
You heathen!
Over pistons should fit in a TRX - not a TDM :wink:

If you get tired of your project, I am interested in the set for my TRX

Hilsen Thomas.

If you`re using them in a early TDM motor then yes, the crank is a 180 degree and not 270 as in the TRX.

It will fit in a late 4TX TDM - wouldn`t it? That one has the 270 crank as the TRX?
Anyhow I`m not using it in the engine I have, I`m after a donor engine to do this build, but I didn`t know it wouldn`t fit a 180 crank... :oops:
So thanks - and if I give up the project and sell the bits, I`ll post it here.
